    ok so the more i looked at this manifold the wetter its looking, so i dumped a bottle of Bar's Leaks Liquid Copper Block Sealer as i plan to not reuse this engine in the long run. did this last weekend, and i drive like 10 blocks to work, if its 1.5 miles id be surprised. so it doesn't get much road time, and maybe 50 miles since last weekend.

    so it would seem this stuff really works, the lim has all dried up except for 2 bolts now, the worst one is now a small puddle, and the other one still "looks" wet, but it could just be the shine left behind. and the radiator has stayed full for the last 2 days.

    this stuff has suspended copper flakes floating in the coolant now, so i guess it just fills in the voids.

    car defiantly has more balls now too.
